Emotional Wellbeing refers to how well we are able to process our emotions and cope with life challenges. Our ability to manage stress, create positive social connections, and taking care of our Physical and Mental Health, taking time to rest and recover may all help us to maintain good Emotional Wellbeing. Sometimes, things get on top of us and it’s difficult to find the right balance. If you are struggling with your Emotional Wellbeing, please speak to a member of the Streetwise Team who can help you positively manage your Emotional Wellbeing.

We all have relationships, whether they are family relationships, friendships or ‘romantic’ or ‘intimate’ relationships. All of these different types of relationships can give you the best feelings in the world, but they can also be really stressful! Positive relationships are about giving, taking, compromising, communicating, enjoying the good times and supporting each other through the bad times. Relationships don’t just happen; you have to work at them to get the best from them! Read more about relationships in our Streetwise leaflet.

Period Poverty means struggling to access Period Products and, can sometimes mean not having a good knowledge of menstruation due to financial constraints. In the UK 1 in 10 girls can’t afford to buy menstrual products and 1 in 7 have struggled to. This can result in Young Women missing school because of the issue. Streetwise can help by providing registration to the M-Card Scheme, which entitles you to access free, confidential and discreet sanitary products and advice at our site in Newcastle City Centre.

Being unable to afford the things (uniform/ trips/ travel) can be really stressful and worrying.

Social Media is a great way to keep in touch with friends, create and share content and keep updated with topics that interest us. But while Social Media can sometimes make us feel connected and included, ‘heavy use’ of social media can impact our health and wellbeing or make us feel lonelier. It can also make us feel more anxious or depressed, depending on the content we view.

Resilience is the ability to be happy, successful and strong again after something difficult or bad has happened. When things go wrong, resilience is what helps you to cope and get through hard times. Sometimes it makes you even stronger than you were before. Some people are naturally quite resilient, but for lots of others it can take time to build up the skills – everyone’s different.

If you have experienced peer pressure, you are certainly not alone. It can be easy to get lost in a world where we feel pressured to keep up with everyone around us. Peer pressure is not something we can simply escape from. It is something we learn to manage, rather than avoid altogether.

We know that some Young People are thinking about sex, or having sex and it’s natural to be curious.
